Moving from Volkswagen (along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway) to Ijegun is a journey that connects the Ojo area to the heart of Alimosho LGA. While the physical distance is not too far, traffic bottlenecks at major junctions can make the trip take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours. Commuters can choose between a standard multi-leg Danfo bus trip, a faster express connection using Keke Marwa (tricycles), or private ride-hailing cars. Fares have risen significantly due to recent fuel price increases, so having a clear idea of current price ranges and alternative routes will save you a lot of stress.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst traffic, depart Volkswagen between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM for morning trips. For afternoon travel, 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM is usually very free. Avoid travelling between 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM when workers are returning home, as gridlock at major junctions can double your travel time.

Stand at Volkswagen Bus Stop along the expressway and board a short-distance yellow Danfo bus or Korope mini-bus heading to Iyana-Iba.
Drop at Iyana-Iba under-bridge. Walk past the market area carefully to the garage and board a direct Danfo bus going to Ikotun or Ijegun.
If your bus stops at Ikotun, cross over to the Ijegun garage and enter a final Keke Marwa or small shuttle bus straight to Ijegun center.
Always hold small change (change of ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) before you enter the bus to avoid 'marriage' (conductors pairing you with another passenger).
Keep your phone and wallet deep inside your pockets or bag at Iyana-Iba bus stop; pickpockets look for distracted commuters.
If the main road at Iyana-Iba is completely blocked, ask Keke riders if they are taking the inner community bypass routes to save time.
Check the weather before leaving; if dark clouds are gathering, move quickly as fares double the moment the first drop of rain falls.

Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally busy and safe during the day. However, pickpockets operate heavily at Iyana-Iba and Ikotun bus stops. Avoid moving late at night (past 9:00 PM) as commercial activity drops and dark stretches along the Ijegun axis can become risky for one-chance buses or phone snatching.
BRT / Rail / Water
The Lagos Blue Line Rail terminates at Okokomaiko / Iyana-Iba nearby, but it does not connect inward to Ijegun. Standard high-capacity BRT buses do not service the inner Ijegun corridor, so you must rely on standard yellow Danfo buses, Korope (mini-buses), and Keke Marwa.

Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
Areas Affected
Lagos-Badagry Expressway
Due to recent fuel price increases and high transport inflation, a standard public trip using Danfo and Keke will cost you between ₦1,300 and ₦2,000 in total. If you choose a private ride-hailing car, expect to pay between ₦5,500 and ₦8,500 depending on the time of day and traffic surge.
No, there are no direct commercial yellow buses (Danfos) that load straight from Volkswagen to Ijegun. You must do a multi-leg journey, usually stopping first at Iyana-Iba or Ikotun before catching another vehicle into Ijegun.
The safest window to travel is during daylight hours, specifically between 7:30 AM and 5:00 PM. Commercial spaces are fully active then, making pickpocketing the only major worry. Avoid moving past 9:00 PM when the roads get lonely and dark.
If the traffic is completely locked and buses are not moving, the best option is to alight from the bus, walk carefully past the bottleneck area under the bridge, and look for Keke Marwa riders who use inner street paths to bypass the main road congestion.
